More Robocop news!

Things appear to be continuing to progress for the Robocop remake, we’ve seen a flurry of news reports come in recently regarding the film the most recent of which discussed the possibility of Jose Padilha being attached to direct.

Now it appears that a writer has been recruited for the scripting duties of ‘Robocop’ with Josh Zetumer filling the position. It has been reported that Josh Zetumer was the writer for a fourth film in the successful Bourne franchise that was obviously never made, as well as having input into the Dune remake.

With improvement in MGM’s financial position, and now a possible director and writer both having been reported to be working on the project, we might be seeing more of the cyborg cop sooner than anticipated.

Leith spent most of his formative years growing up on the coastal fringes of Western Australia without a cinema in sight. There he grew up on the wonders of home rentals before relocating to Perth and gaining access to a proper cinematic experience just in time for the Star Wars Special Edition re-releases. From there Leith's love of movies expanded to volunteering on a Star Wars fan film, reviewing films, writing about film news, and attending film and pop-culture related conventions on the other side of the world. Leith's favourite films are too many to mention but all start with the Star Wars saga, Back to the Future, the Dark Knight trilogy, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings and all things Kevin Smith.
With an insatiable appetite for all things pop-culture related Leith also has an unhealthy addiction to the world of comics and can often be found buried under a pile of unread back issues madly trying to catch up on a number of titles coming out from mostly DC and Darkhorse.
